study of safety and immunogenicity of bvrs-gamvac-combi

Conditions: MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome); MERS

Summary: the middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (mers-cov) was identified in 2012 during the first middle east respiratory syndrome (mers) outbreak. mers-cov causes an acute lower-respiratory infection in humans, with a fatality rate of \~34.5%. the aim of the study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of heterologous adenoviral-based vaccine against mers - bvrs-gamvac-combi.

the study will include volunteers of both sexes, aged 18-55 years inclusive. the study will involve 268 (will receive the vaccine or placebo) healthy volunteers. at the first stage, it is planned: * study the safety of component 1 - 40 volunteers and 4 spares \* * study the safety of prime-boost vaccination with component 1 and component 2 with an interval of 21 days in half and full dose - 40 volunteers and 4 spares \* at the second phase, it is planned to study the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine as part of a placebo-controlled randomized trial - 188 people, of whom 138 will receive the vaccine, and 50 will make up the control group of observation - they will be given a placebo. data from 20 volunteers from the first phase who received the drug in selected dose will be included in the analysis of safety and immunogenicity of the second phase. * volunteers are replaced by spares before the introduction of the drug, if the volunteer took the drug, then the replacement is not performed. any volunteer who received a dose of the vaccine will be considered as included in the study, the data available on it will be used in assessing the safety and tolerability of the drug.
